For acute dermatitis we recommend 2 to 4 weeks, and for chronic conditions such as atopic dermatitis and psoriasis 3 to 6 months or longer. Including constitutional improvement it can take longer still, and we adjust the treatment plan as things progress.

Q. I am attending a dermatology clinic — can I have both?

A.

Many people do combine them. Please do not stop the ointment and medication you are using on your own.

📝 Detailed Answer

We regard this as a combined relationship, not a replacement for dermatology care. Please do not stop steroid ointment or oral medication on your own.

A cohort study examining the steroid-reducing effect of herbal medicine treatment for atopic dermatitis has been reported. However, whether and how fast to reduce is judged while looking at the state of the skin.

Please tell us the name and grade of the ointment you are using, and the area and frequency of application. We will advise on the order for layering them.
